The Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act was used twice against medical students in Srinagar who illegally celebrated Pakistan’s first T20 World Cup victory over India on Sunday.
In the videos, women can be seen celebrating Pakistan’s victory and yelling pro-Pakistan slogans at the Medical College Srinagar and the Shere Kashmir Institute of Medical Sciences. The video has since gone viral on the internet.

According to official sources, the anti-terror law FIR was filed on Monday at the Srinagar police stations of Karan Nagar and Soura.
People in Srinagar and elsewhere lit fireworks displays during the celebrations, which coincided with Home Minister Amit Shah’s visit to Kashmir. Mr. Shah announced in parliament during his three-day visit to Jammu and Kashmir that the state would lose its special status under Article 370 and be reduced to two Union Territories. It was his first visit to the area since August of this year.
SKIMS officials have formed a fact-finding committee to investigate how a video of students celebrating Pakistan’s victory on social media became popular. The committee’s report to the government is due to the government in 48 hours.
“There is no mention of a celebration on the Institute’s website.” According to an official, a fact-finding committee has been formed, and a report will be submitted to the government within 48 hours.
Farooq Abdullah suggested that we make contact with our Pakistani neighbours across the border. If I need to contact anyone in Jammu and Kashmir, it will be people from that state. Now that I’ve extended a friendly hand, there is no ill will between us. According to Mr. Amit Shah, “Kashmir exists in Modi’s heart.”
